Houston pauses on $150 million DOJ immigration enforcement grant
Original: Houston ‘not taking any action’ on $150 million DOJ grant application tied to ‘immigration law enforcement’
Houston officials say the city is 'not taking any action' on a $150 million Department of Justice grant application connected to immigration law enforcement. The decision puts the city at odds with federal funding tied to immigration enforcement, and it is drawing attention amid ongoing national debate over local cooperation with federal immigration policy.
Why now: Debate over whether cities should accept federal money tied to immigration enforcement is intensifying.
